Migration Insurance

Usually, restart migration means that something is wrong with the data on a Target Store. It can be influenced by 3rd party extensions, inappropriate development, bugs during shopping cart installation, etc. That is why launching a new migration (remigration) to a store, filled with corrupted or modified data, is not recommended since there is a risk of mixing/duplicating data. In order to avoid this you will need to clear current data from a Target Store before migration. In this case all the corrupted/modified data will be deleted. Your Source data will be moved to a clear Target Store, preserving relationships between entities.

Please note! Clearing data from a Target Store is irreversible option, so we highly recommend to make a backup before restarting the migration.

In case of restarting the transfer, Migration Insurance covers the cost of additional options that were selected during the initial migration. It means that you will not pay again for the options you have already payed before. You will be able to restart completely the same migration in one click from your account page. If you would like to add an extra option, or modify the migration (disable entities, etc.) you will need to contact our Support Team.

Migration Insurance will cover the costs of remigration only in case your Source and Target cart types and URLs are exactly the same as during the initial migration. If you would like to change any of these parameters, you will need to contact our Support Team.

Let’s start with short descriptions. Migration Insurance allows you to Remigrate - to completely restart your existing Full Migration - a certain amount of times during a certain period, depending on which plan you’ve chosen. Remigration means clearing all the entities from your target store and transferring data from the source cart to it, all over again.

Recent Data Migration, on the other hand, permits you to transfer new entities exclusively to your target store after Full Migration is done. It takes a lot less time than Remigration (which is provided in Migration Insurance) and doesn’t affect the data that is already moved.

A detailed comparison of Recent Data Migration and Migration Data Insurance is in the following table:
